He also trained over 200 Indian entrepreneurs, including 67 practising doctors through fellowship programmes and workshops in innovating for medical devices. "It is imperative for doctors to be driving innovation in the medical devices space," says Dr Chaturvedi. "Doctors understand the design required for the device and when you create or build a device, you also hold control over its price point." In India it is easier to manufacture devices and price them at a lower cost," said Dr Chaturvedi. I am sure Indian doctors will come up with great innovations to transform the way healthcare is delivered," he said.
